	7.6? Wow! I've almost bragged over my 5 MIPS. (ie. it's true!)

	As I understand the A3000 with AMaxII even runs Mac-programs faster
than the Mac IIfx because of 1) the blitter (or whatever displaythingy there's
doing the job) and 2) only the 68030 and the cache is 40 MHz in the Mac. The
rest of the computer (memory etc.) runs on 20 MHz. I'm not familiar with
how much the NuBus does.
